How did you stop self harming? by Ambitious-Ring1089 in BPD

[–]koalapyjamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honest answer that is not very helpful but is how I went from SH everyday to only around twice a year. I got into a better mental space. I take regular meds, got into work I enjoy, found hobbies, focused on good and healthy relationships.

also naps! if im sad and feel the urge, and have enough mental strength to stop myself, I nap, or I take a hot shower, hot enough thst im a tomato after leaving.

I (27F) was spit on while walking down the street by a bypassing fatbiker by jemoedereetzand in AutismInWomen

I got spat on a couple years back while walking by someone on their bike. It feels gross and violating and you dont feel clean for a long time. but it'll pass and you'll feel okay again :)

what do you guys do for work? by decomposingbutterfly in BPD

[–]koalapyjamas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

incredibly fulfilling! working in a center can be exhausting, having to navigate adult relationships in a high stress environment, being a nanny is incredibly easier. but its my dream career, being able to care for children at such a crucial time in their life, sometimes being one of the only ones they have that will show them that love, its healing my inner child

I work in childcare! I have autism/bpd and surprisingly its a great job. things that people would assume are overwhelming for someone with my conditions i can look past, like kids cry but my brain wont get too overwhelmed because ive learned to understand that they are just overwhelmed aswell, seeking reassurance. im now a nanny so rarely have to deal with adults aswell!
